一個猶太人在倫敦開了一家猶太教餐館,在餐館的窗戶上寫著:“阿拉伯人不許入內(nèi)”的字樣。過了幾天,一個特征鮮明的阿拉伯人走進(jìn)餐館想要一個三明治。收銀員馬上跑到辦公室問該怎么辦。餐館老板不想惹事生非,于是就說,“好吧,賣他一個三明治,但是要收他兩倍錢,這樣就能給他一個教訓(xùn)了。”
But the next day the same Arab is back again一this time for a full lunch; the owner decides" Charge him triple,he’11 get the lesson this time!” The Arab eats his lunch, pays without a quibble, praises the food and even asks for a reservation for 10 of his friends for the same evening. The owner decides`OK,1et him have the reservation, but if his friends do come,charge them tenfold!” The Arabs appear in the evening, have a large dinner, pay without complaining and even tip generously. So the next day the owner puts a new sign in the window: "JEWS NOT WELCOME."
但是第二天,那個阿拉伯人又來了,這回他要了一整套午餐。老板決定收他三倍的錢,這樣他就知道厲害了!那個阿拉伯人吃過午餐后通通快快的付了錢,還稱贊食物非常好吃,甚至預(yù)定了當(dāng)天晚上十個人的晚餐。老板想了想說:“沒問題,就讓他預(yù)定,但是等他的朋友來了就收他們十倍的錢!”等到晚上,那些阿拉伯人真的來了,點了好多菜,毫無怨言地付了十倍的錢,而且還大方地給了不少小費。于是第三天,老板在窗戶上寫了一行新字:“猶太人不許人內(nèi)”。
